It's a BOY!

It has been confirmed :) We are having a little boy! BUT to my dismay, and Daddy Nich's and uncle Clinton's joy...this baby was already giving a "guns up" in the ultrasound. Ha ha ha!! I guess "Hook 'em" is a little tougher but that's just because we know Longhorns are better at doing more challenging things :) That'll be the next ultrasound :)

We are a little over 16 weeks, and this baby's a little more modest than Julian was, so it's hard to see the "boy parts," but if you look closely, they're there, kind of blended into the thigh! AND, he's definitely a Beer since he kept his hand over his face while they tried for the 3-D image. But what we could see of his little face, he's a CUTIE!

And, for those who like numbers, his heart rate is 150 beats per minute and he's measuring perfectly. We got blood screening results which let us know he is highly unlikely to have neural tube defects (thank goodness the 4 mg of folic acid a day is working!) or Trisomy 18 (1/10,000) or Down's Syndrome (1/1,000). He's got his little four chamber heart and three vessel cord, so all looks as good as possible! We're so excited!
